Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Tuesday, the Milwaukee Common Council voted 13 - 0 with one abstention, including one excused absence to rename the Southside business corridor (street) S. César E. Chávez Drive (formerly S. 16 St.) between W. Pierce St. to W. Mitchell Street back to S. 16 Street. Alderperson JoCasta Zamarripa, the co-sponsor of a substitute Ordinance 252060 to change the name of the business corridor street from S. Chávez Drive to S. 16 Street decided to change her vote from approval to an abstention, while Alderperson Marina Dimitrijevic was recorded as an excused absence.

The City of Milwaukee Department of Public Works confirmed that the S. Chávez street name signs will be changed to S. 16 St. before the end of the month.

Ald. Zamarripa along with Alderman Jóse G. Pérez (President of the Milwaukee Common Council) were the sponsors to change the S. César E. Chávez Drive name of the street back to S. 16 Street, after unproven allegations were raised that the late leader of the United Farm Workers (UFW) César E. Chávez had molested multiple young girls and the UFW co-founder Dolores Huerta also admitted that she had a consensual sex relationship with Chávez who was married at the time and Huerta confirming that she had a child from Chávez, but decided to stay silent at the time. Huerta then alleged in a New York Times article that Chávez sexually assaulted her in a second encounter and she became pregnant again, but remained silent again. She admitted that she gave her two daughters with Chávez away to caring families, in order to protect the UFW movement at the time. Then, an allegation was raised that Huerta had a third child with César E. Chávez, which an alleged DNA test showed that he was also the father, but the child was raised as his brother's child instead. Huerta has not confirmed the allegation that she actually had a third child with César and that his younger brother raised the child with Huerta who she was married too.

Huerta was married multiple times and had a total of 11 children, and two with César and a third with him too, which hasn't been confirmed by Huerta.

When Huerta had a consensual sexual relationship with Chávez, she was 21.

The allegations against César E. Chávez were made public by the New York Times, 33 years after his death. Both César E. Chávez and his brother, Richard are deceased and can not defend themselves today against such allegations that were recently raised.

So far, there is no actual evidence or prove that Chávez molested young girls other than Ana Murguia and Debra Rojas who alleged that they were molested by Chávez when they were under the age of 14, but at the time remained silent until the New York Times published their allegations in March, days before Chávez's Birthday this year (2026) and Huerta also alleging that Chávez had sexually assaulted her without consent.

Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) did a criminal background check on César E. Chávez in California and Arizona, which resulted in no criminal record or history for molesting young girls and rape.

Chávez died in 1993, with no criminal of sexual assault of young girls or rape. He died as the iconic leader of the farm workers movement. 

The sexual assault of young girls allegations, which to date haven't been proven spread widely and many members of the Latino communities throughout the U.S. immediately condemn Chávez in the court of public opinion and prosecution without actual evidence and began to erase his iconic legacy. While, the elected U.S. President Donald J. Trump (R-MAGA) has allegedly raped young girls as young as 13 and the released of Epstein files have shown documented allegations against Trump investigated by the FBI. Trump remains in office while his alleged victims have called for justice, which justice hasn't taken place.

In the pedophile scenario today, many Latinos seemed to immediately condemn and erase the legacy of one of their own without actual evidence of sexual assaults against young girls, but today, these same Latinos allegedly seemed to continue to accept and condone the acts of an alleged White pedophile president in office. Sign of the times or just hypocrisy! 

In other Milwaukee Common Council news, the Council passed ordinances that prohibits local law enforcement including the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (USICE) agents from wearing masks to conceal their identities, and they must identify themselves and carry identification with them when conducting immigration enforcement in the City of Milwaukee. Also, USICE agents are prohibited from using any City properties to coordinate raids without a City permit.

MAGA Gestapo USICE Agent, 35-year-old Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr. Charged With 2 Felony Counts For 2nd-degree Assault With A Dangerous Weapon In Hennepin County

MAGA Gestapo USICE agent Morgan Jr. is facing up to 14 years in prison in Minnesota, if convicted on two felony counts for 2nd-degree assault with a dangerous weapon.

Minneapolis, Minnesota -  The Hennepin County criminal complaint in Minnesota was filed on April 16, 2026 against USICE agent Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr., 35, who has been criminally charged with two state felony counts for 2nd-degree assault with a dangerous weapon. USICE agent Morgan is facing up to 7 years in prison and $4,000 to $14,000 in fines for each count, or both, if convicted on all counts.

According to the criminal complaint, several victims stated that on February 5, 2026, Morgan Jr. had pursued them on Minnesota State Highway 62 and I-35W and pointed a firearmed at two victims while he was recklessly driving illegally in the right shoulder.

At the time of the incident, Victim 1 was driving east on Hwy 62 through the above-described 1-35W interchange. Victim 2 was in the front-passenger seat. Victim 1 stated that they were queued with other vehicles in the single lane of traffic when they saw a black Ford Expedition approaching from behind, driving illegally on the right shoulder. Victim 1 moved their car partially onto the shoulder in front of the Expedition, attempting to "cut him off a little bit and block the Expedition driver's effort to bypass traffic unlawfully. Victim 1 was unaware that the driver, later identified as Morgan, the Defendant, was associated with a law- enforcement agency. There were no markings on Morgan's vehicle that would identify it as law enforcement and the vehicle was not displaying or using lights or sirens.

After briefly using the vehicle to attempt to block Morgan from using the shoulder, Victim 1 returned the vehicle to the legal traffic lane. Morgan continued to travel on the shoulder but rather than continue to drive past the victims, he pulled alongside their vehicle, rolled down his window, and pointed a black handgun directly at Victim 1 and Victim 2. Victim 1 had a clear view of Morgan's appearance, saw that he was wearing a black t-shirt, saw that the gun was pointed directly at their heads, saw that the gun was a Glock or Sig Sauer handgun with what appeared to be a red-dot sight, and noted that Morgan yelled something indiscernible. The windows on Victim 1's car were closed, and the victims weren't able to hear what Morgan was velling. Victim 1 felt threatened for their safety and immediately called 911.

Victim 2 corroborated Victim 1's report. Victim 2 was in the front-passenger seat and saw the Expeditior driving on the right shoulder of Hwy 62 "really, really fast." Victim 2 said that Victim 1 moved the car into the shoulder to "slow him down." Victim 2 explained that in response Morgan pulled alongside them, rolled down his window, and pointed his gun straight at Victim 2 and Victim 1. This caused Victim 2 to feel threatened and scared for their safety. As with Victim 1, Victim 2 was unaware that Morgan was a federal agent, noting that the Expedition had no markings to indicate it was being used by law enforcement.

Victim 2 shared with troopers two videos recorded with a cell phone after Morgan pointed his firearm at them. On the videos, Victim 1 and Victim 2 are driving behind Morgan and recording the back of the Expedition, which had an identifiable Utah license plate.

Luis Rodolfo López, 1st Bilingual Teacher From South Division High School In 1970 Will Posthumously Received The Tony Báez Lifetime Achievement Award 2026 At The WIABE's 47th Annual Conference In Wisconsin

López became the first bilingual teacher at South Division High School in the Milwaukee Public Schools District and the State of Wisconsin in 1970.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Saturday, April 18th, the Wisconsin Association for Bilingual Education (WIABE) will posthumously honor the late Luis Rodolfo López, 81, who in 1970 became the first bilingual teacher at South Division High in the Southside of Milwaukee including the Milwaukee Public Schools District and in the State of Wisconsin with the Tony Báez Lifetime Achievement Award 2026.

Gloria González, a former graduate student from South Division High School (SDHS), and a retired Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) Division of Bilingual Multicultural Education at Central Services staff member nominated Maestro López for the Tony Báez Lifetime Achievement Award 2026, and on Thursday, she confirmed to Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) that WIABE had chosen López for the posthumously honor at their 47th Annual WIABE Conference over the weekend at Wisconsin Dells.

González says that Maestro López taught Hispanic American Culture, bilingual U.S. history, and language courses to bilingual students at South Division.

Beyond the classroom, Maestro López was a relentless advocate for student belonging and cultural pride. He helped organize the first Hispanic prom at South Division in 1972, creating inclusive spaces where students felt seen and celebrated. As a guidance counselor, he further supported students’ academic and personal growth, always centering their dignity and potential.

His advocacy extended well beyond the school walls. Maestro López served his community through organizations such as UMOS, United Community Center, and Mexican Fiesta, while also contributing to faith-based initiatives at Guadalupe Church. He remained committed to education throughout his life, teaching adult learners in ESL (English as a Second Language) and Adult High School programs at MATC, ensuring that opportunity was accessible at every stage of life.

Maestro López was more than an educator—he was a trailblazer, mentor, and champion for equity. His legacy lives on through the countless lives he transformed, the doors he opened, and the community he strengthened.

Maestro López passed away at the age of 81, on August 18, 2025 in Tampa, Florida.

López was originally from México, he had a passion to teach his students in both Spanish and English and made sure that the students succeeded in class, which eventually led to a higher percentage of graduation for Latino and non-Latino students at South Division High School. Many of the students that López taught enrolled at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, including Milwaukee Area Technical College and other universities, and later graduated and became contributing members in the Southside community and Milwaukee.

López was the first bilingual teacher at SDHS in the early 1970's. The SDHS 1971 year book recognized López as a teacher for Hispanic American Culture, Language and History, and United States History Bilingual.

López was well known for his charismatic and unwavering support for his students at SDHS, and in 1972, he was very instrumental in sponsoring the first Hispanic student South Division High School Prom dance at the Marc Plaza Hotel in downtown Milwaukee.

In 1973, López also worked as a Guidance Counselor in the Guidance Department at SDHS in MPS. López began working at MPS on April 8, 1969 and earned a Master's degree on December 2, 1979.

López later became an administrator at MPS. After retiring from MPS, López moved to Tampa, Florida.

A memorial tribute for Maestro Luis Rodolfo Lopez at South Division High School is planned for June 13, 2026 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., according to González.
